Dry month, I'm going to be finishing my 100% of cyberpunk - will probably get one of Star Wars or Black Myth, but equally may wait till they come down in price. As much as I like Concords gameplay, I'm going to wait sand see what sort of playerbase it has first. Visions of Mana will be a day one as well, more for the missus than me, but I'll play it too.

Steamworld Heist 2, is my top contender for August.
I really enjoyed Cat Quest 1, a simple but very fun RPG, with the cutest aesthetic. But Cat Quest 2 felt bloated, so I never finished. Maybe Cat Quest 3 will be a return to form.

Just Cygni, Visions of Mana and maybe Witch Spring R, but the western physical release is in early September. Other than that I'll be mostly focused on backlog games.

Concord, because I already pre-ordered it.
To what extent, I dunno.

Also FFXIV, still need to finish up the post-Endwalker content before I can start with Dawntrail.
And there's Predecessor, still.

Got Star Wars Outlaws with my new CPU so breaking my usual habit of not playing anything on release. Looks really good to me - not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I loved AC Odyssey and I think they said that was an inspiration...

I'm trying to finish up Starfield at the moment, but depending on when I get that done I might try and squeeze something else in before Outlaws from my backlog, problem is everything I'm really waiting to play is massive and 100+ hours, and I'm travelling for work to a rather large sporting event that's about to start so will be gone for a couple of weeks as well... Might just keep mopping up quests in Starfield...

I'm curious about Stormgate. But i won't buy anything, i've heard it's free so i will not spend money on it.
And i'm interested in Star Wars: Outlaws.

Black Myth Wukong looks interesting, but I have enough backlog to go through that even this fall I'm not planning to buy much beyond Metaphor Re Fantazio.

For me it'll be Visions of Mana, Witchspring R(buy & put in backlog), and Gundam Breaker.
I have some on my wishlist.

That game looks so good, I'm down day 1!

I know I'll also be playing The First Descendant during August with its update, we Luna and Ultimate Valby plus some new skins which I hope are good. I'll still be dorking around in Spelunky and Mechwarrior 5 until Clans releases. Currently still putting in time into Resident Evil 4 PS5, SMTVV, a little bit of the new Trails Daybreak(which I put on hold to finish up SMTVV).

I'm sure I'll snag any indies and oldies that release throughout the month as well.
 
Visions of Mana, but it doesn't arrive until late August, so I'll be finishing up Rebirth and SMT V: Vengeance before that.

Already bought Bounty Hunter, hope its a decent remaster. Always wanted to play it back in the day.

Not planning on buying myself a game releasing in that month. Probably sticking to what I'm playing right now. Nothing from start to finish. Just a match/map of Hitman, Balatro, OpenRCT 2 and other replayable "gameplay" games.

Getting the new Star Wars Bounty Hunter remaster. It's a childhood favorite and Aspyr looks to have done a good job with this one. Also playing Black Myth which I got free with the RTX 4070 Super I just picked up. Only other thing i'm going to get is hardware: the PSVR2 adapter for PC so I can finally play Half-life Alyx.

Mostly backlog and ZZZ (it depends). Looking forward to play Shadow of the Ninja for sure. It doesn't look like Wukong is what I wanted from that game so I'll skip it at launch.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.

Forgive the quality of the captures, they are just screen captures and then cropped, I'm running it 1440p60fps and it looks a lot cleaner & sharper on a 4K display then it does here
